Dime was
an outstanding fighter with a solid punch; He was called "a clever
two-handed fighter who can hit a very hard blow" (Philadelphia Item);

Data from the pre-1900 and early 1900 years is often difficult to locate and verify
- and much data missing from Dime's career; Hopefully, more
bouts will be discovered in time; Any modifications or additions are
welcome
